Video poker has been most impacted by its 'leaner' system management as well. One payout schedule on a machine I was playing only payed 50 credits for the highest paid five of a kind symbol. Like all casinos in the past two years, Oneida has been upgrading to slots and moving in more penny slots which (of course) have much lowerpayout schedules. I know the carpet has not been changed since I began going there in 2003.
I mean like its done a 180 with its payouts and their play-return comps are all but gone and the hotel is deteriorating. Oneida is clearly not the gem for good gambling action it once was. We've visited Oneida Casino and stayed at the adjoining Radisson hotel for over 8 years now i Was so disappointed and looking forward to some loose slot and video poker playing.
